Former President Barack Obama is headed to Atlanta on Oct. 28 to campaign for U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, Stacey Abrams and other Democratic candidates to help mobilize supporters — particularly Black Georgians — during the final stretch of early in-person voting.

Obama’s visit was announced as polls show a tight race between Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker, who met in their first and only televised debate in Savannah on Friday. And Democrats hope he’ll give a boost to Abrams, who trails Gov. Brian Kemp in her gubernatorial rematch.

The location of the visit wasn’t immediately announced, but the Democratic Party of Georgia stressed it will focus on driving up early voting participation in Georgia. The three-week early voting period begins Monday, and Obama’s visit will coincide with the start of the third week.

Obama has staked out a limited schedule of appearances this campaign cycle, and the Georgia visit is one of his only announced events. State Democrats hope his trip could drive up Black voter turnout and inject more energy into Georgia campaigns in the final stretch of the race.
